Novel synthesis of a self-healing Ce based eco-friendly sealing coating to mitigate corrosion in insulators installed in industrial regions.

Overcoming hardware corrosion for high voltage insulators is a vital issue to prevent the sudden breakdown of insulators. The development of an efficient, economical, and eco-friendly anti-corrosion coating is essential to replace existing carcinogenic and toxic silicone-based coatings used by insulator industries. This article investigates the anticorrosion performance of a novel cerium-based sealing coating for insulator pins installed in highly corrosive (35 μm per year) industrial regions.

Crack resistance of a noble green hydrophobic antimicrobial sealing coating film against environmental corrosion applied on the steel-cement interface for power insulators.

Due to their great load-bearing capabilities, steel-cement interface structures are commonly employed in construction projects, and power utilities including electric insulators. The service life of the steel-cement interface is always decreasing owing to fracture propagation in the cement helped by steel corrosion. In this paper, a noble crack-resistant solution for steel-cement interfaces utilized in hostile outdoor environments is proposed.
